I see a lot more deer when I get my butt up and hunt mornings. A lot of hunters see bucks between 9 and 11 am. We all have heard of big bucks being killed mid mornings. Could it be because most of us hunt from elevated treestands and that's when the ground is really warming up and the thermals are pulling upward the hardest.
Making the bucks the most vulnerable? Morning hunts I have alot of deer walk directly under my stand. In the evening, when it's getting cooler and the thermals are really pulling your sent down it is very hard to get a deer to walk directly under you without being winded.

I’ve always liked mornings better. Shot my buck last year at 8am.

@garrettstraffon608 as someone that hunts south alabama public land 3+ days a week during season nearly all of my deer sightings are between 8-10 AM or 1-3 PM I rarely see a deer 30 minutes before dark like you're "supposed" to. Even when I hunt the public food plots I see alot of deer mid day

As a waterfowl hunter, I have found 10-2 is a very good time to traffic hunt ducks. As a turkey hunter, some of the easiest turkeys to kill are struck up from 10-2. Deer hunting, lots of midday rut bucks are killed. There just seems to be more quality movement rather than quantity movement midday.

10 am opening morning. Hot on a couple of does. Came down the same trail less than 5 minutes after them nose to the ground, never looked up.

Great episode

@@scottseales1925 thanks brother!

Get out the carbon fume respirator. Prolly would work to stop breath scent if you plugged the exhaust flap but would be super hot and uncomfortable

[@SSteeleify]

My small property has a bunch of log cabins by it. I can get away with almost anything scent related. They will come in and be relaxed not alert at all. Now movement or sound they don't tolerate. Even if you do bump them they will be back the next day. cleared for a food plot at a new blind and one of the biggest bucks in the area was in there the same night. Now hunting public land is another story. I've watched deer huff and snort knowing something was up. Just couldn't figure out what it was and usually don't hang around. Also if they bust you they probably won't come back.

Great video

[@jasonteebo1437]

Very curious with all his work and knowledge if they ever tried to use scentloc with dogs

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

He covers this in the full interview on here. Pretty interesting findings for sure

5 yr old whitetail buck hear…. I agree

[@Alianderfarm]

Fascinating

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

@@Alianderfarm we are glad you enjoyed this clip from the main interview with Tom!

[@CH-sx9je]

Spoiler alert, scent travels on the wind and deer smell super well. This has been known since caveman days.

[@anthonyfantasia8011]

What's the thought on rubber boots ?

[@thesouthernoutdoorsmen]

@@anthonyfantasia8011 Tom covered this in the main interview on here. Rubber boots still leave scent and ground disturbance. There isn’t much you can do about it.
